The New Democratic Party would not have a second round? Why would we...?

That's what it is here, yes. This was what it was last time.

We're looking at the number of representations in Parliament; there is only one NDP.
Just looking at the representation, I'm trying to look at the rationale, at how we arrived at this. There is only one NDP on this committee, so it's to be proportionate in terms of representation on the committee.

Are you moving as a motion that on the second round the New Democratic Party not have a round of questioning?

They should have a round, so I will amend that. Yes, we should each have a chance to have a round on that.

We could reverse Liberal and Conservative. Exactly. That's all we need to do. We can reverse the way it previously was for both rounds.

The thing of it is that on the second round, the Liberal Party has two opportunities, and that is what we want to amend. We believe that being the governing party....
Pardon me?

We're being very consistent with what it was last year simply by switching Conservative to Liberal.

Could you read out exactly what you'd like on the second round?

One second.
At the moment it is:
On the following rounds of questioning, five minutes per party in the following order: Liberal, Conservative, Bloc, New Democratic Party.

Joy Smith Conservative Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
On number ten, for the first round, we have: “Conservative, Bloc, Liberal, New Democratic Party”. It's a second round, and if you reverse it, yes, I see what you mean. Everyone then has equal time. That is fine. All I'm going for is equal time.
9:30 a.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
All right. That's good then.
Do we all know the first round for seven minutes is Liberal, Bloc, Conservative, New Democratic Party? A second round of five minutes is Liberal, Conservative, Bloc, New Democratic Party. Is everybody comfortable?
All right. Would somebody move approval?

Excuse me? Shouldn't there be another round for a Conservative on the second round?
9:30 a.m.
Conservative
Joy Smith Conservative Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
Yes, on the second round you should have one more Conservative.
9:30 a.m.
Conservative
Joy Smith Conservative Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
Yes. At the end, a Conservative should be added.
Could you read that out again, please?
